Suzuki will return to the FIM Supersport World Championship (WorldSSP) in 2027, with Italian team Motozoo Racing campaigning the GSX-R750 and Mattia Casadei as its rider. The return marks Suzuki’s first full-season entry in the championship since 2013 although Suzuki has made occasional appearances since then, including a wildcard entry at Donington Park in 2023.
Motozoo will field the number 40 GSX-R750, with Casadei returning for his third season with the team. The 27-year-old Italian, who won the 2023 MotoE World Championship, finished 16th in the 2026 WorldSSP standings.
The choice of the GSX-R750 is significant, as the 750 cc four-cylinder machine offers a different approach from the 600 cc motorcycles traditionally associated with Supersport racing and will compete under the championship’s Next Generation regulations. One technical challenge is the production GSX-R750’s lack of ride-by-wire throttle, which is required under WorldSSP regulations.
